Gardaí may only share that information to any new partner they form a relationship with.

A register of sex offenders and domestic violence abusers, similar to the tax defaulters list, will not be made publicly available.

The Irish Times report legislation floated by Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan in the Dail last month will not go ahead as planned.

A list is still expected to be drawn up but will only be disclosed to members of the public who may need the information to protect themselves.

For example, if a person on the register was convicted of a sexual offence, Gardaí may share that information to any new partner they form a relationship with.
